Program Integrity

PROGRAM INTEGRITY
FRAUD, WASTE, & ABUSE

SCG's Program Integrity practice delivers field-verified, analytics-driven provider network compliance for Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers. We combine active federal site visit operations, multi-layer enrollment data analysis, and the regulatory expertise to convert findings into enforcement-ready documentation — serving government agencies, state programs, Medicare Advantage plans, and managed care organizations.

Problem-solution

THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE

Every payer — federal, state, or commercial — operates a provider network that is only as trustworthy as the enrollment information behind it.

The challenge is that most of that information is self-reported, rarely independently verified, and aging the moment it is submitted.

Approach

OUR APPROACH

Beyond the First Layer: A Five-Layer Verification Model. Standard provider oversight operates at the surface — confirming a provider is present at an address and that basic enrollment data appears complete. We operate differently, before a single inspector is deployed, we have already identified what doesn't add up on paper. Ultimately, when we leave, we hand the client much more than a site visit report.

Serve

WHO WE SERVE

Applicable Across All Program Types (Nationwide). Our program integrity model is not limited to federal Medicare work. The same field infrastructure, analytics capability, and regulatory expertise applied under active federal contracts translates directly to state Medicaid programs, Medicare Advantage plans, and commercial payers seeking compliant, accurate, fraud-resistant provider networks.
